threeball wrote: » You said raped earlier, now you're back tracking and haven't quoted any posts where rape was mentioned. Your arguments can't be taken seriously when you lie about what was stated in the thread and when you put a slap on the arse in the same category as rape. It completely diminishes rape when you put those two things on a par.

There is a distinct difference in playfully slapping a reporters arse whilst running a marathon for the craic, than for example molesting a reporters arse in a nightclub or deliberately assaulting her. This entire item is garbage. It is really sad to see some posters even on this thread jumping on the "men are evil, this is an assault" angle, really sad. If she was a decent journalist she could have turned this around and made a laugh out of it, instead it goes viral for all the wrong reasons.It won't stop me slapping anyone's arse in the future either.

Ironicname wrote: » Because the post I quoted showed that you are unable to have a rational conversation because you blame men to be the reason you feel pain in your life. So a topic like this will result in emotional outbursts rather than logical discussion And the reason I am speaking to you directly is because not all past victims have become as (somewhat understandably) bitter as you. . Funny you didnt mention that Alecto was responding to your assumption that she didn't know that rape and sexual assault stick with people. You made it sound like her experiences somehow backed up your feelings rather than completely contradicted them.
Sarahdunners wrote: Threeball Isn't is amazing that I could be called a liar for saying that another woman on this thread - said that she was raped.
Sarahdunners wrote: I don't know how lazy you have to be - to not even read the thread, before calling some one a liar to suit your own agenda.
Sarahdunners wrote: It is on Page 7 , everyone! A woman says that she was raped. Do you see it threeball? So calling me a liar was wrong, yes.
Sarahdunners wrote: Though the joy of being right, and YOU being the liar, is nice.
Ironicname wrote: » Again,. She did say she was raped. She also inferred people like you who think mentioning rape in a conversation about getting your arse slapped are hysterical. So yes, someone else said they were raped, only to refute your claim that they would feel like you do if it happened to them. Bizarre you are feeling joy from pointing out that someone said they were raped. As I said, you can't be taken seriously.
Sarahdunners wrote: Oh right, so you are saying that YOU get to decide whether I talk or not. That is incredibly arrogant.
threeball wrote: » It just shows how ludicrous the arguments are getting. For the last few year there has been a heavy man hating agenda across most media outlets and its spiralled out of control. A fella literally has to second guess interacting with a lost child in a supermarket for fear of being branded. This guy is tarnished for sexual assault yet at least 50 women across Ireland will do the same or worse tonight. Yes the Harvey Weinsteins of this world deserve locking up. This guy isn't even in the same stratosphere

Ironicname wrote: » It would be. If I had said that. I said you can't be taken seriously. Because you come out with irrational and emotional outbursts like this.
Sarahdunners wrote: » What makes me really sad and angry. My life as a woman has not been good. I have not been respected. The absolute and biggest pain in my life has come from men sexually harassing me and sexually assaulting me. It causes so much pain. It causes so much mental pain long after the act is over. I attempted suicide after a sexual assault. Look at all the women on this thread alone who said they have been raped. I can't get those years of my life back, and I am angry about that. All that suffering. I hope that men will one day be ashamed for wht they put women through in this generation.
Sarahdunners wrote: Ironicname - I hate to break it to you - but you don't have power over whether anyone else speaks or not.
Ironicname wrote: » I'm sorry you are hurt and mentally traumatised. You are obviously unwell. Blaming all men is ridiculous and you should not be taken seriously from this point onwards. If you had been assaulted by black men, would it be acceptable to hope that all blacks are ashamed for what they put you through? You are allowed to generalise if you want. You just should not expect to be listened to. Your personal experiences are terrible. I wouldn't wish them on anyone. The fact that you can't see that there are a lot of men that should be applauded for everything they have contributed to society and for the betterment of a life you lead, is testament to your tunnel vision mentality. I will never be ashamed for other peoples actions. I will of course feel empathy for victims, but when they are already too far down the rabbit hole and think of me as a part of the problem due to the fact that I have similar genitals to people who hurt them, I can't help my sympathy turn to pity.

Ironicname wrote: » And I stand by that. How is that silencing you? As much as I wouldn't dare tell you what to do, you have no power to compel me to take you seriously, especially when taking into account some of your frankly ridiculous posts. Yes. I can see why YOU would think that way. But you also think that men should apologize for what they did to this generations women. So, ya know... I'm not too sure there is anything I could say to you without you finding it offensive in some way. Especially because I am a man.
